They did, however, throw you a bone in that everyone got an AA bonus, increasing your AAs by ~13%.   If you had 248 AAs on Monday, you would have 280AAs on Tuesday after the patch and be able to jump right in on gaining XP.  If your 220 AAs is AFTER that increase (meaning you only had 195 before.. then you truely do have no place fighting lvl 99-100 mobs).</span></p></blockquote><p>Comments in red, childish insults removed.</p>

[Koleg]

<p>IMO, they should totally remove the level base in the games and give each player a status of ready or not-ready.  It would be the same thing as there is now: 90 w/ <280 = not-ready, 90/w >280 = ready. </p><p>It is down right redonkulous to think that low AA players should be able or even allowed to use the same content as players with high AA.  You'd all be better off reversing the AA and adventure numbers; where you all think your level is 90/200 when it is really 200/90 and should NOT be able to do content equally as a 320/90 player.  If/when you can you'll all just cry for nerfs and the like and I say that dumbs down the game far too much.</p><p>If people "enjoyed" the game they would "play" it and how many AA they had would never be an issue becasue they would "have" them already.</p><p>/thread</p>
